Nanoscale supported gold clusters are common redox catalysts but in many cases the nature of the active sites remains unclear. Here, the authors use X-ray absorption to determine the contribution of single gold atoms, clusters and particles on the reactivity of room-temperature carbon monoxide oxidation.
